Fluently work within TED Brand Creative's concept-focused and strategic-minded design process
Create impactful and thoughtful concepts, experiences, designs, and identities that bring the TED brand and its numerous products and initiatives to life across a wide range of touchpoints
Design at an extremely high level and provide a strong creative point of view
Concept and execute identities and brand systems for original video series, podcasts, conferences, and initiatives
Extend design systems for events to cover environmental graphics, books, stage design, digital marketing, social media, screen environments, templated signage, merch and more
Create original artworks for TED's editorial channels
Own print production from layout through vendor handoff — including large-format signage, conference materials, and print-ready files
Present designs and concepts with clarity and conviction
Seek out, receive, and apply feedback in order to push your and the team’s work further — and know how to provide constructive feedback to other team members

3+ years of graphic design experience
NYC-based preferred. TED is headquartered in New York City.
A broad range of interests. You live and breathe graphic design but bring other skills to the table — illustration, motion, photography, 3D, other creative endeavors valued
Expert fluency in Adobe Creative Cloud, with working knowledge of designing for print — InDesign and Photoshop especially. You can prep files and work with vendors to get the output right. If you're still building this print muscle, you’re able to learn fast and own it
Expertise in Figma is a must — and working knowledge of digital design systems a significant plus
Experience designing marketing assets — email, social, display, web — is also a plus
Strong organizational skills, from concept through delivery of mechanicals
Flexibility. TED is a fast-paced environment, and we jump quickly from project to project. You can keep up and thrive off the energy of working on something new.
A deeply curious mind. You are culturally engaged and proactively exploring new technologies and trends within the design world
